Locally advanced esophageal cancer has a dismal prognosis. Surgery remains the cornerstone treatment with 5-year survival rates of approximately 12-39%. Rates of local failure and distant metastases are high following surgical resection of locally advanced tumors. Neoadjuvant therapy (either radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination) prior to surgery carries the advantage of tackling micrometastases and improving complete resection rates. Neoadjuvant concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy are a favored approach with evidence for improved pathologic complete response (pCR) rates and improved survival compared with surgery alone. Randomized trials of the optimal neoadjuvant approach are ongoing.
局部晚期食管癌预后不良。手术仍然是基石治疗方法,5 年生存率约为 12-39%。局部晚期肿瘤手术后局部复发和远处转移率较高。手术前进行新辅助治疗(放疗、化疗或联合治疗)具有解决微转移和提高完全切除率的优势。新辅助同期化疗和放疗是一种受青睐的方法,与单独手术相比,证据表明其病理完全缓解(pCR)率提高,生存获益改善。目前正在进行最佳新辅助方法的随机试验。
